Text difficulty modulates the surprisal effect in self-paced reading
Surprisal, the statistical likelihood of a word or syntactic structure given its preceding context, is an important metric for understanding the predictive/integrative process in reading. Although individual words and syntactic structures vary in surprisal within any text, regardless of its overall difficulty, it remains unclear whether text difficulty modulates how surprisal influences reading. We hypothesized that higher text difficulty increas…

The Healthy Socialist Life in Maoist China, 1949-1980
Studies in the history of medicine and health in Mao's China after 1949 have been a burgeoning subfield of Chinese history and medical history over the past two decades. In these histories, medicine and health have been inseparable from politics in ideological commitment and operational schemes, which have been reflected in health work principles and mass movements. In current scholarship, researchers have made substantial progress in exploring e…

Mass Inoculation and Rural Rhythms
This article examines the dynamics between the mass inoculation campaigns and China’s restructured rural social system during the 1962–1965 cholera pandemic, with a focus on the role of local agents and population data during the integration of the medical and administrative systems. The inoculation campaigns not only harnessed local agents and household and accounting information provided by the broader social restructuring initiatives but also …
Activation of L1 orthography in L2 word reading
When reading in a second language, a reader’s first language may be involved. For word reading, the question is how and at what level: lexical, pre-lexical, or both. In three experiments, we employed an implicit reading task (color judgment) and an explicit reading task (word naming) to test whether a Chinese meaning equivalent character and its sub-character orthography are activated when first language (L1) Chinese speakers read second language…
Miranda Brown. The Art of Medicine in Early China
In recent decades, studies of Chinese medical history have seen a shift in their methodology, historiography, and paradigm toward the social history of medicine, which examines medicine and health in social and cultural contexts. The current scholarship regards traditional Chinese medical historiography as hagiography or “chronicling the careers of Great Men,” as Nathan Sivin describes it (Volker Schied, foreword to Currents of Tradition in Chine…

The Global Cholera Pandemic Reaches Chinese Villages
In 1961 the seventh global cholera pandemic, El Tor cholera, broke out in Indonesia. Between 1962 and 1964, El Tor infected the southeast coastal areas of China. This pandemic occurred at a time of significant reorganization for both the rural medical and health systems and the people's communes following the failures of the Great Leap Forward. This paper explores how local governments led rural medical practitioners, health care workers, and vil…

Sexual Misconduct and Punishment in Chinese Hospitals in the 1960s and 1970s
This article analyzes the official circulars relating to the punishment of male physicians for sexual misconduct in Chinese hospitals during the 1960s and 1970s. It reveals how the puritanical and political ideology of this period affected the images of male physicians who engaged in sexual misconduct, and argues that their punishment demonstrates how the social responsibility for upholding sexual morality, a task once ascribed to women in imperi…
